As if you needed one final thing to convince you of how utterly gone (and yet somehow still descending!) Trump is, we have today’s quote.
Trump’s interview with Billionaire propagandist Musk was full of typical awful comments, but this one really takes the cake….
After discussing Xi Jinping and China,
The former president then abruptly segued into talking about Harris’s looks, drawing comparison between her and the former first lady.
“I saw a picture of her on Time Magazine today. She looks like the most beautiful actress ever to live,” Trump said of Harris, referring to the latest edition of Time Magazine, which brands Harris’s campaign as “the swiftest vibe shift in modern political history.”
“She looked very much like our great first lady, Melania,” Trump gushed as Musk met his comment with an awkward chuckle and a reserved, “yeah…”
“Right… well yeah, well, you know,” Musk said, before scrambling to change the subject and entering into a monologue about the American dream.
He can’t help himself. He can’t help but sexualize and deal with every woman solely based on her looks, not her personality, talent and skills, efforts, achievements and force of will. His objectification and commodification of women in public and in private has enabled all kinds of vile misogyny and hatred to emerge and return during and because of his presidency. Its not a flattering compliment to Kamala Harris. Its an attempt to reduce her to an object like he does with everyone else. As demonstrated by his absolute inability to land even a few serious punches on his political opponent, Trump is utterly incapable of treating her as a serious threat, and hopefully its what costs him the election.
We have to keep pointing out the weirdness, all the way to election day, and to the next midterm!!! We can do this!! If you have any money to give, please consider our downballot and local candidates!!!
